Environment Variables

Typed Coinbase reads these when not passed directly to Coinbase.new():

COINBASE_API_KEY_NAME="organizations/{org_id}/apiKeys/{key_id}"
COINBASE_PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----..."

Both come from a CDP API Key created in the CDP Portal. COINBASE_PRIVATE_KEY is either the EC (P-256) PEM export, or the portal's base64-encoded Ed25519 seed — the format is detected automatically, no configuration needed.

Neither is required for a public=True client, which only reaches advanced_trade.products.public and the market_data WebSocket channels.

See API Keys Setup for how to create these.
